Item 8.01 - Other Events
Omagine, Inc. (the "Company") is providing the following information in response to several shareholder inquiries and in order to keep our shareholders informed of the Company’s activities.
We have today again been in contact with the office of Her Excellency Maitha Al Mahrooqiyah, the Under Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism, and have been assured that we would be notified shortly regarding a meeting date with Her Excellency. The date for such meeting has not yet been confirmed and we therefore remain in the position of being unable at this time to say when the Development Agreement for the Omagine Project will be signed.
As stated in our recent Prospectus, the Company’s ongoing Rights Offering will expire at 5 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States on March 30, 2012.
As previously reported, Mr. Frank J. Drohan, the Company’s president and a director has exercised all 322,810 of his Rights. As of the date hereof, Mr. Charles P. Kuczynski, the Company’s vice-president and a director has also exercised all of his 50,470 Rights. Additionally the Company’s Controller, Mr. William F. Hanley, has exercised all 20,577 of his Rights plus Mr. Hanley has also exercised his over-subscription privilege for 4,423 additional shares (if available).
The Company is unaware at this time if either of its outside independent directors have exercised any of their Rights and the Company will only become so aware after the close of the Rights Offering on March 30. All Rights exercise transactions are being directed to and tallied by Continental Stock Transfer Co, as Subscription Agent. The Company will not know the final results of the Rights Offering until after March 30, 2012.
This report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to buy or sell securities. Please refer to the Prospectus filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2012 for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Rights Offering and Warrant Distribution.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements – including management’s present expectation and belief that the Development Agreement will be signed by Omagine LLC and the Government - are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth or implied in such forward-looking statements.
